STUNNINGLY, I've finished more knitting!
However, I don't have pictures of it to post right now...sorry! I've made 5 dishcloths as well as finishing my first pair of socks...and a pair for Gabby. I also got some great wool felting yarn from Ravelry--so I'll be making Steve a pair of slippers/moccasins...just in time for SUMMER! :o)
We got a new CD on Friday--New & Used by Apologetix. http://www.apologetix.com
They do some GREAT parody songs--Narrow Way to Heaven (Stairway to Heaven), Micah number 5 (Mambo #5), Livin' What Jesus Spoke Of (Livin La Vida Loca) and the kids' FAVORITE, Baa Baa, We're Lambs (Barbara Ann). That song comes on & Gabby can't stop LAUGHING or JUMPING!!! Duncan does slam dancing against the couch--to the floor! And wonders why he gets jumped on! When I get the video uploaded, I'll post it here.
Actually got out 3 times last week without the kids...FRUA mom's night out on Tuesday, lunch with Donna...then to the doctor's office to see how I was doing on Celebrex and Thursday night to a Tastefully Simple party!! With Steve occasionally working from home, it's GREAT being able to leave 1 kid home!
Went down to City Mission again on Friday. Gabby was SOOOO HAPPY! She met up with her little buddies Emily and Quianna. Duncan ate & played with Edward. We all (the whole school~35 kids) went outside to play on their 2 swingsets & empty lots...lots of fun running, slipping, sliding & throwing snow around. Then Gabby did quiet time with the kindergarteners while Duncan played quietly in the lunch room. Going back in 2 weeks...gonna stay longer & see if we can visit again the following week. Gabby & Duncan want to use their piggy bank money to buy some easter toys for the CM kids...how sweet. That was their own idea...NOT mine! But I think it's great that they want to share.
Time to get Gabby from school soon. Bye....

Laurel--Thanks for the comment on Gabby's blog! Is your Gabby a "Gabrielle" or "Gabriella?" Ours is a Gabrielle. Looks like you and your husband were blessed with some wonderful adopted children. Two friends of ours are adopting from Ethiopia right now, which is so exciting. We can't wait for their little girl to arrive! Best of luck with the kids, your knitting adventures, and life itself. Your children are just beautiful.
Very cute! Ours is Gabrielle Elise. We thought Gabriella, although a gorgeous name, was a little much for having "Smith" as a last name! It was kind of a "let down" at the end since she doesn't have a cool last name to go with such a fancy first name. Oh well. Yeah, stop by when you can and keep watching Gabby grow!
